Summary

Empty Chairs at the Adelsons’ Holiday Table — What’s Next for Wendi?

The Adelson saga is far from over. In this segment, Tony, Stacy, and Todd go deeper into the family’s fractured state. With multiple members behind bars for their roles in Dan Markel’s murder, the spotlight shifts to Wendi Adelson and the children — still living under the shadow of the family name.

The hosts ask: What does “normal” look like when your family is synonymous with crime? Do Wendi’s kids grow up carrying the weight of their family’s choices? And how do grandparents and extended family fit into a picture dominated by prison visits, court rulings, and headlines?

This segment bridges into the bigger picture — how high-profile cases ripple through generations, altering not just public perception but the very fabric of family identity. The Adelsons aren’t just defendants; they are now a case study in how crime poisons tradition, stability, and even the meaning of home.

1:24.1

Yeah. Unless they paint him as vindictive and holding grudges that, you know, people get fired from jobs and, you know, eight years later, they come back and shoot the workplace up. It's like, what? What happened to you that eight years later you go and do this?

1:38.8

Mental note, Tony, Stacy can never be fired. I'm just, uh, because good thing we all work in different cities. Yeah, but I'm really close. I'm not that far. A couple hours away. Yeah, look out, Todd. Yeah, I'm loose cannon. If I find out something, I'll give you a heads up. She's loose. She's on her way. They found dead cats. And when that happens, it's the end. Yeah.
